1
00:00:00,530 --> 00:00:07,470
so you still want me to look that way

2
00:00:02,550 --> 00:00:08,880
yes so so please tell me your name like

3
00:00:07,470 --> 00:00:09,480
when you worked at Crossroads and for

4
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:12,389
how long

5
00:00:09,480 --> 00:00:15,299
sure max Hardy I worked at Crossroads in

6
00:00:12,389 --> 00:00:20,850
the summer of 2010 and it lived on

7
00:00:15,299 --> 00:00:22,680
campus in East Village with peers of

8
00:00:20,850 --> 00:00:26,369
mine who were at other volunteer

9
00:00:22,680 --> 00:00:30,269
opportunities that summer and we worked

10
00:00:26,369 --> 00:00:34,050
here in the library in the digital media

11
00:00:30,269 --> 00:00:36,540
lab can you tell me one of the the

12
00:00:34,050 --> 00:00:43,710
things you worked on and how it impacted

13
00:00:36,540 --> 00:00:45,719
your life sure sure so I think one of

14
00:00:43,710 --> 00:00:47,370
the things I'd say is even less than the

15
00:00:45,719 --> 00:00:50,640
individual interviews that were

16
00:00:47,370 --> 00:00:53,010
impactful to me is the process of

17
00:00:50,640 --> 00:00:58,199
walking around and discovering the city

18
00:00:53,010 --> 00:01:02,340
of just by doing research in the Memphis

19
00:00:58,199 --> 00:01:04,949
room but also in kind of just walking

20
00:01:02,340 --> 00:01:07,430
around and observing the city through

21
00:01:04,949 --> 00:01:11,970
this lens of wanting to preserve it so

22
00:01:07,430 --> 00:01:13,320
how do we portray the city in ways that

23
00:01:11,970 --> 00:01:15,509
I wouldn't have thought of by just

24
00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:18,680
existing here but actually with the

25
00:01:15,509 --> 00:01:22,170
mindset of preserving it and that was

26
00:01:18,680 --> 00:01:24,990
really impactful for me and can you tell

27
00:01:22,170 --> 00:01:29,150
me one specific story that you'd look at

28
00:01:24,990 --> 00:01:29,150
when you're working for crossroads oh

29
00:01:35,630 --> 00:01:43,979
yeah oh here's one so we did an

30
00:01:38,659 --> 00:01:46,890
interview and one of the bigger houses

31
00:01:43,979 --> 00:01:49,979
on McLean and I can't remember which

32
00:01:46,890 --> 00:01:53,369
house it was but someone who listed the

33
00:01:49,979 --> 00:01:55,259
civil rights movement and what the woman

34
00:01:53,369 --> 00:01:58,170
described and I'm sorry I forget her

35
00:01:55,259 --> 00:02:02,070
name is this instance of being in high

36
00:01:58,170 --> 00:02:04,259
school in Memphis at the time and I

37
00:02:02,070 --> 00:02:06,600
think what in high school you are very

38
00:02:04,259 --> 00:02:09,330
much focused on your role in high school

39
00:02:06,600 --> 00:02:11,670
right so she said she was on the prom

40
00:02:09,330 --> 00:02:12,520
planning committee and she described

41
00:02:11,670 --> 00:02:17,320
this scenario

42
00:02:12,520 --> 00:02:20,560
we're because of different protests and

43
00:02:17,320 --> 00:02:24,130
responses by different police forces

44
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:25,960
there our prom was cancelled and it was

45
00:02:24,130 --> 00:02:29,890
shocking and devastating Turkish she had

46
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:32,500
done all this work to to to prepare for

47
00:02:29,890 --> 00:02:34,780
this prom and meanwhile this national

48
00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:37,840
movement is going on that happens to be

49
00:02:34,780 --> 00:02:41,410
happening in Memphis and she described

50
00:02:37,840 --> 00:02:44,710
this realization later in life of kind

51
00:02:41,410 --> 00:02:49,150
of how futile that was and but that

52
00:02:44,710 --> 00:02:51,340
dichotomy that that impact of these

53
00:02:49,150 --> 00:02:54,730
different events on people's lives even

54
00:02:51,340 --> 00:02:58,660
